This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

LmAo...seriously?
thats kinda like FAnny in Australia...
here it means Butt...slang term parents who dont like their kids saying Butt, give for it to let their kids say..

In australia..it means...eh... Imagine a Slang term for a females genetalia, starting wiht a P, and ending with a Y....almost got me in deep sh*t once in a aus chat room on Talk city when i said i kicked osmeone in the fanny...Mods started going off on me like there was no tomorrow...LoL

Anyway..seriosuly..
His earlobe kinda puts me in the mind of ...someone who had a mini marshmellow or three sergically inplanted beneath the skin...LoL

Hope that helps bro..

Looks good but that earlobe is such a faggot.

It looks good. There's one weird texturing thing on his forehead if you follow the spot in the middle of his brow up along the head.

random question, are you making this character for any specific reason, or just for practice?

LOL

I'll stick some spheres there that should help!

Wrinkles on the brow, yeah they are there already, but then unless you are a wrinkled old fart the forehead tends not to have too many wrinkles when relaxed...

Update...not fussing too much with this top

Also Im going to whinge, but not at you guys...

I was going to buy shave and haircut but apparently they only cater for 3 versions of Maya at a time! So now 8 is out you can only get shave for Versions 8, 7 and 6.5.

Surely they'd still have a few versions of 6 lying about? So if I want shave I have to spend 1500 quid to upgrade Maya then spend 250 for to get shave...how crap! I may just buy 'soft'

Cheers
